GG ALLIN
Rock & Roll Terrorist
"He was by far the
most outrageous performer who ever hit a stage"
GG ALLIN
I will not be tamed or act civilized... Everything I do, I do
it to the extreme. Self-mutilation that satisfies me... Fast
and hard, sleazy and cruddy... Raw, brutal, rough and bloody
!!!

GG Allin is a hero ! He is an electric martyr in a world gone
mad... GG Allin did not live a life in vain. He lived a life
in pain. Not shame... GG Allin is "the last of the wild
ones"... Like Amy Fisher, like Charles Manson, like the
Birdman of Alcatraz...
GG Allin was cast into the dark. But he saw the light... !!

target is the audience."

The most violent man in rock is dead. GG Allin, whose extreme
brand of punk rock included defecating on stage and frequent
fist fights with the audience, was found dead... Allin, who lived
in the East Village and whose full name was Kevin Michael Allin,
was 36.
"I Think it's safe to say he OD'ed" said the rock singer's
brother, Merle Allin, who played bass guitar in his band. "Though
with GG you never know".
GG Allin died as he lived... Two years ago, in Orlando, Florida,
Allin was arrested after he defecated on stage and then threw
his faeces at the audience.
"He believed that he was the rock and roll messiah, and
that he was trying to bring danger back into rock and roll",
said Merle. "He was by far the most outrageous performer
who ever hit a stage".
According to filmmaker Todd Phillips (author of the documentary
: "Hated : GG Allin and the Murder Junkies), Allin had been
arrested 52 times for his various onstage activities. He had
also occasionally threatened to kill himself on stage.
Allin raised in Lancaster, NH, was also prolific as a rocker.
He recorded 18 albums with different bands, among them the Jabbers
and the AIDS Brigade...
Allin have been buried in New Hampshire (he wanted to be laid
to rest in his favourite outfit : a dog collar, a leather jock-strap
and boots). Rebel, tough, violent, he's been and will stay the
ultimate delinquent Punk Rocker. This savage guy from Lancaster
(New Heaven), when alive and thrown in jail, used to pretend
: "I'm the rock'n'roll's Master and Number One Terrorist
!".
The title for this anthology was immediately found : "Rock'n'roll
Terrorist". A collection of 40 songs, 40 filthy hymns of
pure anger, pure energy, pure venom... A rare performance of
a man who brought rock'n'roll to the extremes.
Handle with great
care...!
